Opposition parties held a joint meeting on Thursday to discuss the strategy to counter the government over Citizenship Amendment Bill in the Parliament.

The meeting took place in the chambers of Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad at the Parliament.

According to sources, members of 14-16 parties were there in the meeting to discuss the strategy in the parliament.

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill that seeks to provide citizenship to non-Muslims from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh if they face persecution in their countries.

The bill is set to be tabled next week in Parliament in the current Winter Session.
